As Katy said we need the details.

Whole milk?

> I followed directions on this website and used the yogurmet yogurt maker.

What website? Point to the specific directions or write them in your

e-mail. How much are you making, how are you heating the milk, how

are you cooling it, how are you measuring the temperature, what are

you using for starter, how are you mixing it, etc.?

> Please help with measuring the temperature. How do I measure the temp. of

fermentation?

You need a good thermometer. I have a digital thermometer I got at

Walmart for 8 or 9 dollars. A good thermometer with at least 1 degree

resolution is necessary.

For fermentation start as close to 100 degrees as you can (heat the

milk on the stove a bit if you have to) and take the temperature every

couple hours.

Yogourmet yogurt makers tend to get too hot. In my opinion they

shouldn't be used. The oven method as described in the book works

perfectly and costs almost nothing.

So, fill in the details and we'll get you on your way.
